Moving parallel with the notion that flourishing small businesses are at the heart of any developing community or neighborhood, American Express dedicated a day to Small Businesses. From 2010 onwards, the Saturday after Thanksgiving is marked as ‘Small Business Saturday’, encouraging the cause and people to shop from small businesses. Putting small businesses on the map, the first event was a success and further, the day gained momentum.
Promoting the local communities and businesses organizations from all over the country sign up to serve as the ‘Neighbourhood Champions’. Various events and activities are organized throughout the year and on Small Business Saturday to bring their communities together.
Not only this, In 2011, a Small Business Saturday Coalition was formed by business associations, nonprofit trade groups, towns, and public officials to encourage everyone to Shop Small.
